- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down

Rented and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
About our commercial air conditioning in Freemantle
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them with the cost agreed up front. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and TM44 recommendations that need acting on.
Businesses near Freemantle often have room for outdoor units on the ground at the back, which keeps them out of sight and easy to service.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Questions from Freemantle
Will you come out to Freemantle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Freemantle?
It can. Freemantle is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Will I need planning permission?
It depends on the system and the property. In England, an air source heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, while a unit that only cools is not covered and needs checking with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
How the job changes from property to property
Hotels and schools
Hotel bedrooms need individual control and quiet running and installation has to be planned around occupancy. Phased installation keeps rooms available.
Shops and restaurants
For a discreet finish, ducted systems and cassettes are popular.
What commercial work looks like in Freemantle
The coast is only about 1 mile from Freemantle. Commercial condensers near the coast should be checked for corrosion on every maintenance visit. Food Standards Agency data counts about 266 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 21 hotels and guest houses and about 26 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Freemantle. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 39% of homes in and around Freemantle before 1919, and about 63% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care.
If you look after a school such as Freemantle Church of England Community Academy, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays. Around Millbrook (Hants) station, an office brief might cover an open-plan floor, meeting rooms and a comms cupboard, each with its own needs.

The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a place like Freemantle are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
